Lost my LTE radio with the 901 update....

Hey everyone,
Okay here's the problem as I see it. I have lost my ability to connect to 4G service. I'm located in West Lafayette, IN, which is a very good with the 4G service. I love my droid bionic. I have been to hell and back with this phone, through all the leaked versions, and getting back on the OTA, yet I still have problems. I noticed that I couldn't get 4G, which I initially thought it was just the data drop complaints everyone is talking about, but I can get 3G no problem. I go to compare my info with some others that have the 901 update and i noticed the difference in the Baseband version.
What I have:System version: 5.9.901.XT875.Verizon.en.USModel Number: DROID BIONICAndroid Verision: 2.3.4Baseband version: CDMA_N_04.06.00RWebtop Version: WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-24Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-g83f1a47vwm736@il93lnxdroid43 #1Build number: 5.51_84_DBN-70ERI version: 5PRL version: 1

What I believe I should have:Baseband version: CDMA_N_04.06.00R LTEDC_U_07.1E.00

I saw on another site to dial *#*#4636#*#* and I went into phone information and scrolled down to see if I could change the preferred network type, and LTE is not even option. :/
My phone does recieve data though (3G), and it working well minus the 4G, but obviously I'd love to have the 4G seeing as that's what I bought it for. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

I can confirm your baseband version ("what you believe you should have") is what I have on my OTA .901 Bionic.

Something went wrong in your process. You are not on the same baseband as I am. My phone is pretty clean. Factory to 893 via OTA. Then a straight forward manual update to 901. I have the baseband you mention that you expected to have. I think you are looking at redoing the get back on the path process again. That is my only thought.

so are you saying I need to get back to 893 and try again? where did you get your 901 update?

Are you still stock on 901?
Are you still rooted?

If so you can try to flash the update901.zip again from stock recovery so you don't have to redo the whole process again

If you're not rooted on 901 you can start over. Once you're back to 886, root and forever root before you flash update893 so you can keep root and even when you flash 901 you should still have root as long as you forever root when you're on 886

Can someone who has the 901 update do something for me. Dial *#*#4636#*#*, click phone information, scroll down and see what they're "Set preferred network type:" is. I don't have an option for LTE, and I'm just wondering if others do.
